How students use AudioDoc
Not a replacement for studying — extra passes through the material you'd never sit down for.
Commute revision
Re-listen to lecture notes on the way in. Familiar material at 1.5× turns a bus ride into a review session.
Pre-lecture first pass
Hear the chapter before it's taught. The lecture lands differently when the vocabulary is already familiar.
Essay proof-listening
Upload your draft and listen. Clunky sentences and repeated words are impossible to miss out loud.
Made for student life
Actually free
No trial, no premium voices, no credit card.
Speed control
1.5× for revision, 1× for new material.
Place saved
Pick up mid-chapter between classes.
Private
Your notes and drafts stay yours.

Frequently asked questions
Studying with audio, honestly answered.
- Is AudioDoc actually free for students?
- Yes — free for everyone, with no premium tier to unlock. No subscription, no credit card, no 'first 3 documents' trial. Guest uploads last 24 hours; a free account keeps your library all semester.
- What study materials can I upload?
- PDF (textbook chapters, papers, slides exported to PDF), EPUB (ebooks), and markdown (typed notes). You can also paste short passages straight into the free text-to-speech studio.
- Does listening actually help you study?
- It works best as a supplement: a first pass before a lecture, revision of familiar material during commutes, or proof-listening your own essays. Dense new material usually still deserves a visual read — listening adds extra passes you wouldn't otherwise make.
- Can I speed up the audio for revision?
- Yes. Speed is adjustable, so familiar notes can run fast while new textbook chapters play at normal pace.
- Will it keep my place across devices?
- Yes. Your listening position is remembered, and with a free account your documents and progress follow you between laptop and phone.
- Do scanned textbook pages work?
- Only PDFs with a text layer are supported — scans that are pure images aren't readable yet. Most digital textbooks, papers, and exported notes work fine.
